What little things have made you happy recently?

[Marinerscove]

Hello lovely mumsnet hive.
so…. I thought we could have a thread of things that made you happy recently. I feel there is so much negative poop out there that maybe this thread will make someone smile or help their day get a little brighter.
My happy thing is my dog. He is a Caucasian Sheppard whom we rescued in September. Now, as a breed they are like no other dogs, unless they are a guardian breed and when we rescued him, he was underweight and came from a bad situation.
he didn’t know what a bone was.
he wanted to eat chips and kebab ( we got a takeaway and he was crazy about getting some)
he didn’t know what toys were. We have tried to get him some but he has no interest.
about 4 days ago I got him a ball that makes a noise from Aldi. £4.99. HE LOVES IT. He is playing like a puppy. He takes it to bed. And honestly, seeing him so happy has made me ridiculously happy!!
I’ll attach pictures of the short monster. ❤️

Oh this is soooo lovely. I do hope he keeps at it and doesn’t matter if he is amazing or not- he is trying and giving it his all. It will form him into a determined person and also, it’s so lovely that you just love the fact he is doing it. Doesn’t matter how well. At least he gets up, gets out and does it!!
That, in its own, is wonderful. ❤️❤️

AMAZING!!! Keep going and keep strong. You’ve got this and if you ever need to vent- some amazing people in this site. 🥰🥰
YOU GOT THIS!!

They are an interesting breed. Lovely but you need to work with them, a lot more so than a, Labrador, for an example.
also, you need to have a very good vacuum and be happy to vacuum 4 times a day, enjoy your toast with a sprinkle of fur, spend hours brushing and then they still look like they walked through a bunch backwards. Oh and spend a lot on a groom once a month. 🤣 but 100% worth it.
oooh I love turtles. They are so weirdly wonderful and seeing one swimming sounds like a once in a lifetime. How lucky.
doesn’t matter about the picture, it’s in your mind. ❤️❤️

@Marinerscove have to do our bit for the wildlife. ❤️ Thank you for helping x

My mum has bought a Nintendo Wii, and now has her friends round a couple of times a week to play it. They're all loving it. It's silly, social, and fun.

Thank you. He works hard at it. 🤣🤣

What a lovely thread 😍 Walking hand in hand with my husband today, watching our dog race through a meadow like a loon, made me very happy 💛

I’m so sorry for your hurt 💐

Oh this is just blooming wonderful!! Go randomcbop’s mom. 💪💪🥰

It’s the simple things that give us all that little bit of joy and pleasure. ❤️

Awww that’s perfect. I used to play county cricket and have coached a lot. This makes me incredibly happy.
it’s a great sport that’s underrated. And well done, they did a cracking job.
I’m not sure where you’re based but I have connections to Worcestershire and the oval. Can always get them a day out so they can meet the players and have a fun day out.
unloved when kids love cricket. ❤️❤️❤️

What a lovely thread @Marinerscove - and your boy is absolutely gorgeous and how adorable that he has learnt to play ❤

@Mondaytuesdayhappydays - congratulations on becoming a silver vixen and welcome to the club!

My "little" news is that I just got engaged! In my mid-50s! After a horrible divorce I was sworn off men and even when I met my lovely DP (now fiancé!!!) I said I would never get married again. But when he said "I want to spend the rest of my life with you" and slipped a beautiful silver commitment ring onto my finger I said yes immediately😊We're not making plans to get married any time soon, we don't even live together atm but I am so so happy.

Goats of course. Two of ours getting a bit if shade today.

But we also have kittens at the moment

Here they are

Here's another of our goats

Two things. The other day I saw a Moomin baseball cap in a shop and thought oh that would be nice to have and walked away, then thought wait a minute, I'm an adult with control of my own money that I worked hard for, I can buy a hat that I want! So turned back and got it and worn it every day since.

And went to visit some sheep recently and got to feed them. They were so lovely, didn't realise sheep love to be petted and scratched much like dogs do!

Sheep are just prototype goats that didn't work out 😀

Recently, i have been feeling happy connecting to my peer group online.

A video from my 3 year old grandson telling me he loves me and blowing me a kiss. Literally the best x

I do love goats, they are so amusing, but sheep are lovely too!

Last week they went to a Bears 12 v county 11 from a selection of local clubs. I had got them mini bats and the Bears signed their bats and bowled at them in nets. 2 got signed T shirts literally off the players backs. It was such a fun day. I've been on holidays to Venice and France this year and sitting there watching them play in the sunshine I just got aoment of thinking there's nowhere I'd rather be right now. I am perfectly content and happy.

Morning all! Love reading all the happy things!

After yesterday's post about chocolate, I broke down and ate a whole sleeve + got me some bourbons! I am repenting today but, at the time, I was in ecstasy. I just love those things 😍

Am holding on to that feeling all day today and being happy reading about others being happy!

Omg he’s gorgeous! 🐾❤️

I've been staring into the north eastern sky for the last couple of nights hoping to catch the Perseid meteor shower. I was rewarded with a couple of shooting stars last night. Magical.
